Great blog! Do you have any recommendations for aspiring writers? I'm hoping to start my own site soon but I'm a little lost on everything.Would you advise starting with a free platform like Wordpress or go for a paid option? There are so many choices out there that I'm completely confused ..Any tips? Appreciate it!
